The head of the AUEOM, Erastus J. O. Mwencha, said though the runoff election has been marred by low voter turnout, the process seems more organized than the previous general elections on October 10. Though the runoff election was marred by low turnout, many had anticipated that the nearly 2.2 million Liberians who registered would have voted to choose between Joseph Boakai of the ruling Unity Party (UP-73) and Sen. George Weah of the Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC-51). The AUEOM head was happy with the level of organization that he witnessed throughout his visits to the polling centers. He joyfully stated that he observed a number of new developments yesterday, as compared to the October 10 polls. We have delayed, we’ve gone through the court process, this is what the process has produced, and we are prepared to live with it.”
